Crook, and I aclze the opportunity to send you a few waords anly, descriptive of the adventtirea of this column since my last. After palning our supply-camp, after the battle of Rosehud Hills, we cceupied our tine moving camp every few days, in order to get better grazing for our Lorses, Junc?28, a large column of emule was scen north of us, and Gruard be- fng sent out reported {t to beon the Little Big- orn River, Sincothen we know that it was cansed by the destruction of the village where o| the gallant Custer bravely met his sod fate, On tho 6th inet. Licut. Sbicy, with n detach- ment of twenty-five men, comprised of five men from cach of ‘the troops of the Second Cavalry, accompanied by Mr, Fiuerty, of the Chicago Pimes, Frank Gruard, Buptiste, and n packer, left camp, with orders to MAKE A RECONNOISSANCE NORTNWARD, and keep on untll they had learned something definite a8 to the position of the hostile Indiaus. Stbley marched on along the base of the moun- tatvs until 1 o’clock on the morniug of the 7ths; Llen, bivouacking until daybreak, pushed on about 4 miles farther, when o large party of In- dians were secn 2)¢ miles to the front. On ranking this discovery, Sibley at once pushed on to the base of the mountains, keeplugg his com- mand well-bidden, in the hope that they would not be observed, In this he was disappointed. The trail was found by one of the flankiog pur- ties of the enciny, who at once attracted the maln body to him by yelling and ridlug in a clr- cle. Concealment belng no longer our object, 8ibley broke cover, and dashed up the mouutain sidcon an old trail, hotly pursued by the In- dians. Atter riding as rapldly as the nature of the ground would permit for sbout # miles, through dense timber and thickots, and over yorks and boulders, he found himself fu a more open country, with a wooded knoll on his right, and another on his left and front. The moment he reached the open, he was as- sailed by A MURDEROUS VOLLEY from the timber on his right, which brought to carth three horses, one of them befug Mr, Fin- orty’s, Sibley at once placed his command in the timber on his left, and fought the enemy desperately for alinost two hours, repelling thetr charges gallantly and with great courage. The enemy were constantly recelving reinforcements, and, a8 oach fresh party came up, they would dash at the gallant little band, pour in a volley, and then, cireling around, take ‘covor and join in tho general fusillade, At this time, not one of the detachment expected to got nway; thirty against 1,500 is rather heavy odds. Gruard, in reply to Bibley’s suggestion that they should mount and charge through at all hazards, sald that they would lve langer by staying In the timber. The tea was then advanced of abun- doufug the horses, and cudcavoring to escape on foot, under cover of the brush, leaving the Indiaus to supposc, as the horses were silll there, that the soldicrs were with them. Accord- ingly, the men were told-off, and a smatl party gent to thelr horses at a time, m order to get the extra smmupition from the saddlo-obugs. Tlus was successfully accomplished, not o grain of powder belug left to fall into the hands of the enemy. In single Gl ON THEIR HANDS AND KNEES, tho party now crawled back over theknoll, pags- fug through a gap that the Indians hod left in thelr encireling line, which Frank oud Batiste liad found, and passing on over a terribly- rugged country, cutting and bruising thelr handg und lmbs on the jamged rocks; whilst, all the time, the volleys and yells of theIn- dians rang In thelr ears. The party did not halt until they had put 5 miles of canons and precipiees betweon them and thelr would-be destroyers. Again und again they ellmbed nlong places where a misstep would havo sent them down 1,000 feet Into the canon below; aguln and egaln they scaled rocky cliffs, working thelr way wearlly aud painfully, but determinedly, as men will WHO ARE STRUGGLINO YOR LIPE, by mcans of the fissurcs worn n the granite walls by Nature's friendly hand. Night found them on s high and rocky peak, the sides of whith were covered by mnssrs of fallen tlmber; and here, worn-ont, wearled olmost unto death, they lay down and slept as those only sleep who are_ utterly and completely exhansted. At .duybreak on thu 8th they pushed on, fuot-sore wad weary. ‘They had not tasted food since the morning bofore, and all were weakened by hun- ger ns well as through the effects of the terrible orleal of thu day before. At noon they came out of the mowitalns, and, crossing o branch of ‘Fongue River, held on thoir general course to- ward camp.

Never before in the anngls of savage warfare has a party been ko hurd-pushed nud yeb es- coped, and, miraclo though it i3, it s all owing to tho knowledge of wooderaft shown by Groard, and the cool, dullborste, and never- fafling courage of the Fnllnnt younye ofticer who commmnded the detachiient, "Lieut, Blbley, of the Becond Cavnlry, to whom ALL IIONOLi, ALL PRAISE) I8 DUE, Finerty fought pgalluntly :tlnmuunuut, and has won the adiniration ofall” who have heard the wondrous story of Bibley's escape. On the mfiht of the Oth, ab 11:20 o'clock, the Indians fired futo tho {fantry, and got away with thres horses and o mule from tho packers.

Not @ human sound is to bu heard in the place from morn il night. Most of the inhabitunts are dead, the victlins of a terribly sudden invaslon of cholera, and the survivord have left every- thing in their huts aud fled to the adjoluing mountajus, - It {s one of the must alarming, and, we might almost eay, nwful visitations whith we know of in_the history of any viilago 1u this Presidency.

The foy survivors and every poor wretch who could move have fled to the adjacent bills, where they are now huddled together and struggling to exist o atich food as they can find in that n lo- eality. Buch wos the terror and helplessness of the peoplewhen the outbreak occurred that they did tiot. bury their dead, nud bodica lay rottin: fn the streets for two wlole days, during whic! the stench waa nbominable. No resson for tha outbreak has been assigned, and the fate of Gol- wood furnishes oue more fustance of the myste- rous movements ¢f cholers.
